viousy the pastor. He preached on the Sab

IN THE FIRELIGHT,

IN H Il EthELlOhE.
The fire upon the hearth is low
And there is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows fiuttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: Now lay me down TO sleep"
And, somehow, with that little pray'r
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with q dear one there;
And as hear my child's amen,
My mothers face comes back 10 me,
Crouched al her side l seem to be.
Aud mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place
on, for the peace of that dear time
Oh, for the childish trust sublime
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face!
Yet as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And Now lay me down to Sleep"

of blowing old tree stumps out of the ground.
The other day he carelessly left the danger.

The dynamite was mixed with sawdust and
gave an exceedingly pleasant odor, which
attracted the attention of TWO of Simpsons
hogs. They finished their inspection of the
stuff by eating ii, and then one of them, pro-
badly to aid and accelerate digestion, began
rubbing his sides against post at the en-
trance of a mules stall. The mule remained
passive for few moments, and then, as mules
will do, gave the hog tremendous kick In
the side. A terrible explosion followed, and
when the smoke and dust had cleared away
the hog was only found in detachments,
while an enormous hole marked the spot
where he had stood. The mule, of course,
survived, or it wouldn't have been mule, but
Il was the most surprised mule you ever saw.
The other hog escaped, and is now at large.

number of young fellows running about the
country, doing about almost any thing and
doing it i'll and, on the other hand, a con-
siderable number of places looking almost In

The Things that Remain.

A great deal of time is spent in mourning
over the things which are gone. Do we try
as we ought to strengthen the things that
remain? Much in every life, no matter what
has faded and gone, is always left-much of
blessings, of sweetness. of reason for thank
fulness. Much in every home, however
changed, still continues true and beautiful
and tender. If we have given up some dear
and precious things, dropped some treasures
from our hands, let US not commit the folly
of mourning for them in such fashion that
we ALLEVIATE the love and cloud the happiness
Of those who are still with us. A word to
the wise Ia sufficient.

VALLEY MILLS, Ten, Jan. 5-Last
night at 10 O'Clock man came running
up to the door of Mr.. J. c. Tubbs, a
farmer living On Hog creek three miles
south of here, saying: "Mr. Smith, q
neighbor half mile distant, is not ex-
pected to live and wants you to come at
once" The man then started back
on trot. Mr.. Tubbs had
been sheriff of Falls county, but o short

him, and before starting he buckled his
on. When 800 va DIS from the house, in
the shade OF some trees, man stepped
Tuobs' suspicion being aroused
and answered in the affirmative.
Thinking, however, as the party contin-
ued to advance he was mistaken, he
lowered his pistol, when it was imn' d.
ately grabbed, but before the enemy had
time to fire, Mr.. T. had clinched with
him, throwing him down when two more
men advanced from the brush. Mr.. T,
quick as fash, turned the man

Mr.. T. got up quickly and emptied his
revolver at the three men, VINO beat q
hasty retreat. Mr.. T. is confident he hit
one of the men and even tried to capture
them with al empty pistol and a bullet
hole through him near the lungs. Mr..
Tubbs walked home and dis

from here, who pronounce the wound
dangerous but not necessarily fatal. Mr..
Tubbs' little son was with him during
the shooting, and knocked enc pistol up

when the assassin shot at the boy. nflict-
ing flesh wound in the calf OF the leg.
During the scutflng with the first man
the little fellow said: "fa, give ne the
pistol, I'll shoot him" A visit to the
battle ground this morning found a 45

not certride exploded, and an old
brown hat, worn evidently as a disguise.
This was, no doubt, lost by the assassin

Mr.. Tubbs recognized one of the parties
and says the affair grew out of mis- ar

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Jan. 5.-Informa-
ton has reached here of another disgrace
full affair which happened at country
dance near Martinsville, in the northwest
part of this county, one night last week.
1t seems that two of the guests got into

rious, whena young man named Dubarry
interfered for the purpose Of restoring
peace. About the time he stepped be-
tween the belligerents he received shot
from pistol, making slight wound.

and has not yet been arrested.

Near Era, has extracted the ball from w.
B. Holder, the young man who was so
badly wounded by Rutherford some weeks
ago. The ball entered the shoulder
blade, just hack of the arm, and was ex-
tracted on the opposite side, having
passed nearly through. The passage
made by the ball was very close to the
spinal cord, and while it is now thought
that young Holder may live, it is said he

present the views of this ASSOCIATION on
thes objectionable sections, which, II
passed, must work irreparable injury to
The commercial and manufacturing inter
ests d this city.
"Resolved, that copy Of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to the Ohio senators
and representatives IN congress, and to
the Tarious commercial bodies through
|onts the West.
= The action of this association is some
what tardy, and to be effective should
have been taken last summer before the
bill was referred to q conference commit
tee. There is now no committee to which
committee from Cincinnati can be sent.
The case has passed beyond that stage.
The conference committee has repor ed
the bill favorsbly. The question now
comes first before the senate for discus
sion and decision upon the report. After
action by the senate it then goes to the
house for action on the same conference
report. The bill may be recommltted to
the conference, but conference commit
tee does not give hearings. The Cincin-
natl committee will have to work among
individual members of the two houses,
but there is nothing TO prevent them from
"
conference.
A leading member of the house said
to-day: "The Interstate commerce bill
amended except by recommitting it to a
new conference committee. If that
motion fails then it must be passed or
defeated by single vote. There will be
no hurry in taking the vote. The bill will
be fully discussed. There will be time
for people interested to present tn. ir
views, out only by written or pointed
arguments, which should be sent to sens-
tors. l am myself In an undecided
frame of mind, and will carefully con-
slider arguments, especially upon the
shorthsul and pooling clauses"
Such Is the position of this important
bill and any attempt to modify its feat
ures must be made at once if made at all.
1t is in an unsatisfactory position for
amendment, and 1t may be necessary to
have several conference committees be-
fore the bill becomes law. BY the ides
of March, however, some sort of bill
regulating railroads will be listed upon
the country and it's operations will be
watched with widespread interest.
